Juki DNU-241, Consew 206rb, request for advice

[pattyharrington]

I am heading to Bay City tonight to sew on both machines, bringing my own leather, thread, etc. I've decided that I am most likely bringing my Juki home with me. I'll post the outcome and again, thanks for all the input it helped a great deal in sorting out what to do.

If you are going after the Juki LG158, watch this video so you know what you are getting into.

400 lbs weight! I like the foot operated reverse, neater than jamming a piece of wood on the lever.

I'm seeing several spec sheets on the 30" 158 which list the machine's weight as 108kg...nowhere close to 400 lbs.

I decided to stick with my Juki 241h instead of considering a trade. The tech ended up making several adjustments and reinstalling the old hook assembly that I had replaced.  I'm happy to report that it's running like a champ! I am going to lay off the 210 thread though, just to play it safe.
